Realize and Realize Reader: Permitted URLs
Use the Permitted URLs Whitelist as a reference when configuring firewall and/or content filtering devices to allow access to the resources. View the full list.
Realize and Realize Reader Internet Connection
A bandwidth speed of 1 Mbps per user is recommended for optimal performance on all Realize and Realize Reader apps.
- At School: The Realize application is a modern web application; the user's web browser will cache Realize for a period of 30 days or until a new version becomes available. It is estimated that an average of 12MB worth of data is transmitted per student per day. This estimate is based on a student usage session of seven page hits and downloading one content item.
- At Home: Broadband via cable modem, DSL, or other high-speed Internet connection typically provides the recommended bandwidth.
Check your web cache settings. When properly configured, web caching may result in improved performance.
Additional Recommendations
- Configure pop-up blockers to include pearsonrealize.com, *.pearsoncmg.com, *.learningservicestechnology.com, and school.pearsoned.com in the list of allowed sites. If in doubt, check with your school's technology department for the proper browser pop-up and security settings. Pearson does not recommend disabling pop-up blockers.
